I have an offer from Oath. Should I wait to search a better job or Join ?
If you have no better offer, take it. Yahoo's engineering is still stronger than a lot of shops out there.
Stay away please. You can get pink slip anytime.
Speak for your org. I have no concern in this area - if you are a top performer you won't be going anywhere anytime soon unless you choose to do so
Exactly.. don't come to oath/ yahoo because the only people left are the ultra high performers, and everyone left is literally competing for their jobs. That's simply not the case in other companies especially ones which are doing well financially and still growing. Unless you're one of those ultra type A personalities that lives and breathes competition..
Whats the offer?
Search for the better offer. Stay away from oath.
Take an oath to not join oath
The combination of AOL + Yahoo is still new and it's hard to say what the culture is going to be, how the company will or won't succeed, and whether it will be an amazing place to work. Yahoo is on the resumes of an incredible number of super successful people in the Valley, and it seems like a majority of the Yahoo alums still say they "bleed purple." And a lot of good people are still there.
Just FYI.. oath is yahoo+aol 😂😂😂😂😂
I like it there and good benefits. Depends on which org though because some I would say look elsewhere but others are quite strong. Is it a development opportunity, operational, or something else?
Which org do you think is strong? Mail? A dying business..
I'm not in mail, no. We still retain good talent even though some have left in certain parts of the company. I mean if you really want me to I can tell you my org. Could I go somewhere else? Yes, but I'm not unhappy with my job like most people appear to be on here.
Oath is not Yahoo, its a collection of businesses all worse than Yahoo(engineering). As an engineer Id prefer a Yahoo team, but only if you have no other offer. Most of the Talent is has already fled from Yahoo since the buyout so you wont really be working with particularly smart people
I feel fairly smart. New though. High IC, now mentoring and doing new stuff.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
Lol
